If this person works in a trade that requires heavy hauling of equipment and matrials, fine. They need this truck.

If this person is using it to make up for personal inadequacies then fuck them for buying a monstrosity that pollutes like hell and wasted gasoline.

To be fair, going to IKEA is a defensible application for a vehicle like this. Some of those flat packs are pretty bulky.
Youโ€™re going to purchase a 22ft truck just for Ikea trips? How often are you going to Ikea for large furniture?
Perhaps there are people who donโ€™t keep a fleet of differently-sized trucks so as not to overshoot.

Right, so these people are going to drive a 22ft truck everywhere because they might go to Ikea at some point in the next 5-10 years?

I went to Ikea with my Honda Civic and strapped my order to the roof of my car. It was awkward for 1 day instead of being awkward every single day.

Maybe theyโ€™re doing work that involves moving a bunch of furniture around and they get a portion of it from IKEA?
Silly. For whatever reason they have access to a big truck. Going to IKEA today: do I take the Toyota Starlet or the big truck? Iโ€™ll take the big truck.
You can just lease a car from IKEA though
